Re: 1 more reason to keep the screen on your MAF
If it's running fine, I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about hitting the rev limiter. Not really that big a deal IMO.
Think about how many 6speed guys miss shifts at WOT and hit the rev limiter.

*** EDIT ***
OK that might have been taken the wrong way, I meant that I would hate to see her hurt or distrssed over something I caused with my car. I was not trying to say she wouldn't know what to do, I know it shook me up a little and I would be pissed if I found it happened to her and was my fault because I didn't secure the IAT sensor after cleaning the filter...
BTW, found that when I cleaned the filter I forgot to secure the sensor in the filter.

TheRev limiter is there to protect your engine from over revving. I ride a rice rocket and they will hit rev limiter pretty quick if you miss a shift. I would think they set the theshold low enough to keep from doing damage. I realize you dont want to hold you car on rev limiter, just imagine if it wasnt there
